摘要:
Methods and systems for creating protocol header to allow network device to transfer and receive layer two packets through multiple network links. One or more layer three packets are used to encapsulate layer two packets. The protocol header includes a network link identification and a tunnel sequence number. The network link identification is used to identify the network link and the tunnel sequence number is used to identify the sequence of the one or more layer three packets in a network link. A layer two packet may be encrypted first before being embedded in the one or more layer three packets.

The present invention discloses methods and systems carried out at a network device for reducing network congestion by establishing an aggregated connection, wherein the aggregated connection comprise a plurality of virtual private network (VPN) tunnels. The system further comprises assigning default weights to the plurality of VPN tunnels along with transmitting and receiving data packets of a data session through the aggregated connection. When there is a missing data packet in the received data packets, the missing data packet is recreated based on a previous or a next data packet. Furthermore the present invention discloses methods and systems for determining whether a VPN tunnel from the plurality of VPN tunnels is experiencing an unacceptable packet drop rate. If it is seen that a VPN tunnel is experiencing an unacceptable packet drop rate, an effective weight of the at least one VPN tunnel is decreased in order to overcome the setback.

The present disclosure provides for devices, systems, and methods which optimize throughput of bonded connections over multiple variable bandwidth logical paths by adjusting a tunnel bandwidth weighting schema during a data transfer session in response to a change in bandwidth capabilities of one or more tunnels. By making such adjustments, embodiments of the present invention are able to optimize the bandwidth potential of multiple connections being used in a session, while minimizing the adverse consequences of reduced bandwidth issues which may occur during the data transfer session.

The present invention discloses a method carried out by a first communications device for determining performance of a plurality of connections and selecting at least one first connection from the plurality of connections substantially based on performance. Data packets are then transmitted through the at least one first connection. The plurality of connections are aggregated to form an aggregated connection. The determining of performance is performed by transmitting evaluation packets through the plurality of connections. The evaluation packets are based on data packets that are received by the first communication device but have not yet been transmitted through the aggregated connection. The data packets may be designated for a host or node reachable through the aggregated connection. Alternatively, the evaluation packets may be based on predefined information when there are no data packets to be transmitted through the aggregated connection. The performance may be determined periodically.

A method and a first communications router for transmitting data packets to a second communications router by establishing an aggregated end-to-end connection with the second communications router. The aggregated end-to-end connection comprises a plurality of established end-to-end connections. Data packets are transmitted through a first established end-to-end connection when a first condition is satisfied, and through a second established end-to-end connection when a second condition is satisfied. The first and second established end-to-end connections belong to the aggregated end-to-end connection. The first communications router comprises a plurality of network interfaces.

The present invention discloses methods and systems for processing data packets received at a first network node and for processing encapsulating packets received at a second network node. The first network node receives data packets from its network interface. It then selects a first tunnel and selects none or at least one second tunnel according to a selection policy. Original encapsulating packets (OEPs) are transmitted to a second network node through the first tunnel and at least one duplicate encapsulating packet (DEP) is transmitted through the at least one second tunnel. The second network node receives an encapsulating packet with a global sequence number (GSN) through an aggregated connection. The second network node determines whether one or more data packets corresponding to the encapsulating packet have been received earlier. The second network node may then determine whether or not to forward the one or more data packets.
